21212 - A Michelin-starred restaurant with rooms in a Georgian terrace overlooking the Firth of Forth
Located in Edinburgh's New Town on Royal Terrace, this 5-star EDI hotel occupies a Georgian building featuring baroque swirls, classical patterns, and high ceilings with tall windows. 21212 houses a Michelin-starred restaurant where chef Paul Kitching creates weekly-changing menus in a kitchen visible through glass windows from the serene dining room. The hotel spreads across four floors, offering rooms equipped with flat-screen TVs, cable channels, seating areas, and private bathrooms stocked with Molton Brown toiletries. Each accommodation includes a minibar, free WiFi, and views of either the private garden merging into Calton Hill or the Firth of Forth. 21212's sophisticated drawing room and two private dining spaces feature mirror walls, funky floor lighting, and glass screens. Situated a 10-minute walk from Princes Street and York Place tram stop, the property stands 0.5 miles from Edinburgh Castle, St Giles' Cathedral, and the Palace of Holyroodhouse.
Pros
Weekly-changing Michelin-starred menu showcasing innovative combinations like brandy snaps with black pudding
Private garden access with direct connection to Calton Hill
Serene under-the-sea themed dining room with kitchen viewing windows
Traditional Scottish breakfast with luxury touches including caviar
Cons

“What stands out is the blend of luxury and individuality; the kind of place where the five-course tasting menu from a Michelin-starred chef feels like a natural extension of the exceptionally comfortable rooms. Its location in Edinburgh's New Town places it within easy reach of the city's attractions, yet the design creates a serene escape. It's a particularly special choice for those who appreciate fine dining paired with a uniquely stylish atmosphere.”
